CIE 301 Class
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
The Córas Iompair Éireann 301 Class locomotives were the first diesel locomotives used on the CIE network, being built in 1946 by CIE for shunting use. They had a 0-6-0 wheel arrangment and were fitted with a Mirrlees TLDT6 engine of 487hp, with diesel-electric transmission via two Brush traction motors.
They were initially numbered 1000-1004 in the steam locomotive number series, but were subsequently renumbered D301-D305 in order. Two locomotives were stored from 1960, and the rest had followed by 1972, though officially they remained in stock until 1976. All five were scrapped in 1977.
